Todd Augustine showed me this quote today from Augustine (how ironic, eh?). What glories are found in Christ!
“The Maker of man was made man…that bread might hunger; the spring (or fountain) might thirst; the light might sleep; the way might be weary in his journey; that the truth might be hidden by false witnesses; that the Judge of quick and dead might be judged by a mortal judge: justice might be condemned by the unjust; discipline might be scourged; the cluster of grapes might be crowned with thorns; the foundation might be hanged on a tree; that strength might be weakened; that health might be wounded; and that life itself might die”
Quoted from Richard Baxter, “On the Mischiefs of Self-Ignorance and the Benefits of Self-Acquaintance”
